Let's Go Back to the Overlook

I'm a 1920's freak. I really think I was a flapper in another life. And to me The Shining was King's grand opus. Hopefully this one isn't too much. Though it's definitely dark and in the spirit of the masterpiece of cinema. I think my erotics are too much for here and I want to follow decorum. I apologize for earlier stuff. I love this series of Beiderer postcards. So very much. I took the liberty of cropping the photo for taste purposes. Thanks.

Oh darling 
I’ve always been a melancholy sort 
it’s in my blood you see 
it’s just that my mind is a somber artist 
and paints things this way 

let's go back to the grand ballroom 
we'll sit and drink aperitifs 

as I sit and watch you 
while ol’ Al sings our song 

Midnight with the stars and you 
Midnight and a rendevouz 
Your eyes held a message tender 
Saying "I surrender 
All my love to you" 

the night will cast its usual magic 
it's so beautiful it makes me sort of sad 

oh never mind 
just wear your black shaggy dress 
feathers in your Lulu hair 
hold your jewel-encrusted cigarette holder 
though jewels cannot compete with your eyes 

we'll do the Charleston 
laugh and have a merry time 
then the lights will flicker 
the floor an ocean of stars 

lean into me 
and I'll smell your sweet perfume 
Tabac Blond taking me to the most exotic places 

how I want you so badly 
I'm frightened by my own desire 
and for some reason 
I want to cry 

oh never mind 
let your hand grasp mine 
as you lead me to the terrace 
let me dance into you 

your bow lips red as blood 
your face a livid white in the moonlight 
eyes painted and staring like a doll's 

I will hold you as you die 
my little doll 
I will collect all your doll parts 
and hold you forever 

Oh darling 
I’ve always been a melancholy sort 
it’s in my blood you see 
it’s just that my mind is a somber artist 
and paints things this way 

Midnight brought us sweet romance 
I know all my whole life through 
I'll be remembering you 
Whatever else I do 
Midnight with the stars and you
